| Buddhism has played a prominent role in human society where it takes on the dutiesto civilize people, soothe their spirits and exert an influence for good in their life. WithChina’s economy’s rapid growth, Chinese Han Buddhist temples have mushroomedalong with more and diversified needs in function. Now numerous old ChineseBuddhist temples in existence are being renovated and expanded as a result of manysocial and economic aspects in Chinese Buddhism growth, and, agitated by the boomin construction projects of Chinese Buddhist temples, people begin to pay attention toagain to the Buddhist culture. In such a situation, we are required to run a systematicstudy on the several aspects like Buddhist temples’ own spatial form, architecturallayout, landscape configuration and garden construction site so as to work out asolution conforming to current situations and the development of modern Chinese HanBuddhist temples, through which Chinese Han Buddhist temples, the city and thenature are allowed to coexist rationally and thus develop orderly. In this way, the needto develop tourism and economy can be met and Buddhist doctrines and thoughts canbe also spread and inherited more inclusively and profoundly.Therefore, this paper analyzes the architectural layout of modern Chinese HanBuddhist temples and its origin, then constructs the overall plan for every remainingChinese Han Buddhist temple by sorting a certain quantity of Chinese Han Buddhisttemples, or within a certain range, known through research findings, and finally sumsup current situations of Chinese Han Buddhist temples and existing problems based on a certain amount of Buddhist temples’ plane diagrams and analytical graphics. Thelong and tortuous extraordinary evolution of Chinese Han Buddhist temples which canbe seen today comes through in either site selection or building layout. The Buddhisttemple is progressively turned from a mere building without a function of the templeinto one responsible for the functions such as economic development and BuddhaDharma exchanges, with the seven-hall traditional layout, contributing to building aBuddhism culture unity centering on Buddha, Buddha Dharma and Buddhist monk. Weare supposed to integrate the Buddhism culture into the functional layout and alwaystake Buddhist thoughts as the main theme of design concept of the Buddhismconstruction site, in order to take care of the social need to develop a tourism economyand also make the temple as we possibly can a pure land for Buddhists to carry forwardBuddha Dharma and preach sermons. It is expected that the conclusion in the end thispaper arrives at can serve as a reference for the development planning of a modernChinese Han Buddhist temple, so that the future construction of Chinese Han Buddhisttemples has a principle to rest on and an evidence to support. |
